These are fig leaves. As in, what Adam and Eve made clothes out of. WHY anyone would choose fig leaves I can't imagine. They're prickly and don't have much surface area-- the holes in the leaves wouldn't be ideal for modesty, you know. Go figure.
I found this plant in the "garden of Eden," which is of course at Tel Dan in northern Israel. Garden of Eden, huh? HA!

Maybe they are easy to weave or something.
Yikes...I have to say I don't think I'd go for the prickly look if I was to wear foliage. :)
